This document is intended to provide a guide to the potential depreciation and building allowances available from the purchase of the above residential property, facilitating the estimation of the after tax return on the investment over the first 10 full years of ownership. 1.0 Information The following information was used in the preparation of the schedules: Written and verbal information provided by LJ Hooker Gungahlin. 2.0 Depreciation Potential Plant and Capital Allowance The purchaser of the property, intending to use it for income producing purposes, is entitled to depreciation including: Division 40, Depreciation of Plant and Equipment; and Division 43, Capital Works Allowance (2.5 % pa). The depreciation of plant and equipment items is based on the diminishing value effective life rates as published by the commissioner of taxation. In the scenario where plant and equipment items are not sold at an agreed value these items will be depreciated on the basis of a just attribution of the total expenditure (42-65 ITAA97). 3.0 Capital Work Allowance The special building write off allowance is based on the industry specific eligible dates. If the property qualifies for the special building write off, the applicable depreciation rate will be used. Where properties do not qualify for the special building write off allowance, no capital works allowance will be used.
The allowance for capital works will be based on the historical cost of construction less nondepreciable items. 4.0 Estimate Calculation This report is based on a just attribution of the total expenditure to estimate the allowances for plant. The estimates provided are based on the sale price as indicated, as the final purchase price at this time is not known. This estimate has been provided for the purpose of informing the investor of the depreciation potential. Different depreciation returns are available and are influenced by the purchase price of the property. Please note that the first year calculations are based on ownership over a full financial year. 5.0 Disclaimer This report has been based on very preliminary documentation, and the figures provided should be treated as a guide only. As documentation improves, BMT Tax Depreciation will be able to provide more accurate estimates of depreciation. 6.0 Conclusion As can be extracted from the attached tables, the units will obtain maximum depreciation potential within the first 5 years of ownership. BMT Tax Depreciation would be pleased to provide a complete detailed tax depreciation report on any of the units in the above property upon request. Our results suggest employing a specialist to maximise the various tax allowances that are available to this property. This will have a significant effect on improving the after tax return of this investment.
